ICD-10 - Centers for Medicare. With enactment of the Protecting Access to Medicare Act of 2014, CMS is examining the implications of the ICD-10 provision and will provide guidance to providers and stakeholders soon.

This provision in the statute reads as follows: “The Secretary of Health and Human Services may not, prior to October 1, 2015, adopt ICD-10 code sets as the standard for codes sets under section 1173 (c) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1320d-2 (c)) and section 162.1002 of title 45, Code of Federal Regulations.” Natural language processing: Changing health care - Meaningful Health Care Informatics Blog.

Gutteridge: SNOMED is 'too hard' SNOMED text-parser UI jamesfone74 weeks ago Aside from; form input, multi-parent 'tree' browsing, and the usual single concept matching searches, the Common User Interface team spent some time investigating the 'text parser' approach to SNOMED coding.

Gutteridge: SNOMED is 'too hard'

In particular a setup where the parser runs in real-time on the narrative, flags up codable terms, then the author confirms these, leaves them uncoded, or edits the term suggested (just like a spell checker). The designs are publically available at The matching achieved by the prototype (not accessible anymore) was pretty good and a lot of the time the top match would be a good fit. Supporting Information: A&E Diagnosis Tables. Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical Classification System. The Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical (ATC) Classification System is used for the classification of drugs.

Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical Classification System

It is controlled by the WHO Collaborating Centre for Drug Statistics Methodology (WHOCC), and was first published in 1976.[1] This pharmaceutical coding system divides drugs into different groups according to the organ or system on which they act and/or their therapeutic and chemical characteristics. Each bottom-level ATC code stands for a pharmaceutically used substance, or a combination of substances, in a single indication (or use).

This means that one drug can have more than one code: acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin), for example, has A01AD05 as a drug for local oral treatment, B01AC06 as a platelet inhibitor, and N02BA01 as an analgesic and antipyretic. On the other hand, several different brands share the same code if they have the same active substance and indications. Classification[edit] In this system, drugs are classified into groups at 5 different levels:[2] Using ontology-based annotation to profile disease research. WebProtégé. Icdplus4.com.

Public release date: 22-Dec-2011 [ Print | E-mail Share ] [ Close Window ] Contact: Cindy Fox Aisencaisen@iupui.edu 317-274-7722Indiana University School of Medicine INDIANAPOLIS – A universal method of identifying medical test results and other clinical measurements is essential for health information exchange, which requires a common terminology to ensure that medical data can be recorded, transferred and ultimately used when and where the patient needs it.

Lingua franca critical for electronic medical records and health information exchange

A reference compendium of standardized codes for the 2,000 most frequently reported laboratory test observations, released by the Regenstrief Institute, enables hospitals, medical laboratories, physician offices and others to focus on approximately 98 percent of tests as they develop electronic medical record systems and engage in health information exchange.

Impairment Impairment rating software is no longer available. Ergonomics Many businesses need to institute formal evaluation of ergonomically demanding jobs, including lifting jobs. The NIOSH Lifting Equation is a useful tool, but is complicated to use for multitask jobs. Relative values for job task ergonomics can also be estimated using a simple interactive web page based calculator (Internet Explorer only for the time being).

Identifying the Pathways for Meaning Circulation using Text Network Analysis. By Dmitry Paranyushkin, Nodus Labs. Published October 2011, Berlin. Abstract: In this work we propose a method and algorithm for identifying the pathways for meaning circulation within a text. This is done by visualizing normalized textual data as a graph and deriving the key metrics for the concepts and for the text as a whole using network analysis. The resulting data and graph representation are then used to detect the key concepts, which function as junctions for meaning circulation within a text, contextual clusters comprised of word communities (themes), as well as the most often used pathways for meaning circulation.
